The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted to institute an investigation of certain
wireless communication equipment, articles therein, and products containing the same . The
products at issue in this investigation include, inter alia, cellular telephones.

The investigation is based on a complaint filed by Samsung Telecommunications America LLP,
of Richardson, TX, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., of Seoul, Korea, on June 2, 2006. The
complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the
United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of
certain wireless communication equipment, articles therein, and products containing the same,
that infringe seven patents owned by Samsung Electronics. The complainants request that the
ITC issue a permanent limited exclusion order and a permanent cease and desist order.

The ITC has identified the following as respondents in this investigation:

By instituting this investigation (337-TA-577), the ITC has not yet made any decision on the
merits of the case. The case will be referred to the Honorable Paul J. Luckern, an ITC
administrative law judge, who will schedule and hold an evidentiary hearing. Judge Luckern will
make an initial determination as to whether there is a violation of section 337; that initial
determination is subject to review by the Commission.

The ITC will make a final determination in the investigation at the earliest practicable time.
Within 45 days after institution of the investigation, the ITC will set a target date for completing
the investigation. ITC remedial orders in section 337 cases are effective when issued and
become final 60 days after issuance unless disapproved for policy reasons by the U.S. Trade
Representative within that 60-day period.
